I need to purchase a Bible software before my next semester of seminary and I'm trying to understand the process and weigh the options.

Now that Bibleworks is out of the picture, would y'all recommend Logos or Accordance (it looks like Accordance is finally available for PC users now)? I'm mostly looking for something that will give me solid language tools and that I could use for commentaries. I'm not one to buy and read huge sets of theological works on the computer. What do...

I was wondering whether anyone knew of any similar podcasts, which contain in-depth theological discussion, interviews with theologians and historians, etc. I'm not really interested in a one-man-show that functions more like a blog.

Our congregation meets in a rented facility. We are a small group of local Christians, most of whom are elderly (or well on their way!) and could use some assistance in hearing the pastor. We want to purchase a loudspeaker for this purpose and so I am asking for your recommendations. Preferably it would be something that is small and portable (not a computer or sound system but a device that needs little or no setup since we cannot store it where we worship).
